00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day.
00:00:07Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth.
00:00:11Our debts will be cleared,
00:00:13father's honor restored.
00:00:35It's Elizabeth!
00:00:37This was just found in the bride's dressing room!
00:00:48Liz, please forgive me.
00:00:49I can't do this.
00:00:50I won't be traded off to some man.
00:00:52I'm so sorry it had to be you who found this.
00:00:55Don't come looking for me.
00:00:56Jane.
00:00:58Jane.
00:00:59Do you know that if you run away from your wedding
00:01:01with the Earl of Windick,
00:01:02the Fenwick family will be ruined completely?
00:01:15The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family
00:01:18before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed.
00:01:21If not for some old favor the Fenwicks once did the late Earl,
00:01:23it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:50Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:01:54There's no time.
00:01:56There's no time.
00:02:20There's no time.
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenric, that's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister, but she's...
00:02:38The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth?
00:02:49Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter, and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:57Regina, please. Not here.
00:03:00People will see.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:05You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord. I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation, and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:19I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:38I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40Marry, it is my honour to present to you my bride.
00:03:45Oh, thank you.
00:03:57In the night of my sister's wedding,
00:04:00I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormut later today.
00:04:21Shh!
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:32Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:36Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:01He's up and by the way.
00:05:02He's up and by the way.
00:05:11None of us attended.
00:05:13But I've heard every detail.
00:05:15They say the sister ran off,
00:05:17and the younger one took her place.
00:05:19Showed up in riding clothes, no less.
00:05:21You do keep well informed, Dorothea.
00:05:23Tell me,
00:05:24was she truly in riding clothes?
00:05:26Mrs. Milsom's daughter was sitting in the front rows.
00:05:28She said when the cloak fell,
00:05:29the entire church went silent for a full five seconds.
00:05:32Five seconds?
00:05:33When was the last time you managed that?
00:05:35I've never had the pleasure of causing such a spectacle.
00:05:38Poor Earl.
00:05:39Poor?
00:05:40I don't think so.
00:05:41He doesn't do anything out of pity.
00:05:42He has his reasons.
00:05:44A piece of Fenwick land, an old debt,
00:05:46something of that sort.
00:05:47As for the girl,
00:05:48I'd wager she's some wild little country girl.
00:05:50Hard carely fit for society.
00:05:52Likely doesn't even know her manners.
00:05:59Who is that over there?
00:06:01A gardener, or one of the maids?
00:06:04Just look at the state of her.
00:06:06About that level, I'd say.
00:06:08Edward's new wife can't be much better.
00:06:11You, the one picking strawberries, come here.
00:06:19Are you speaking to me?
00:06:21Of course.
00:06:22Who else could I be speaking to?
00:06:34Poor us some tea.
00:06:41My dear, do stay for a cup of tea before you go.
00:06:52Oh, how clumsy.
00:06:57Lady Winfond, your tea is ready.
00:06:59The housekeeper says there are new letters for your attention.
00:07:02If you would come with me.
00:07:10You're Edward's new wife?
00:07:21My lady.
00:07:26That's my girl.
00:07:28My lord.
00:07:33Tell Lady Windward that I...
00:07:35Wait.
00:07:40I'll give this to Lady Windward and...
00:07:44I will talk to you, sir.
00:07:46Yes, my lord.
00:07:54Please excuse me.
00:08:01You saw that, didn't you?
00:08:02The way she carried herself.
00:08:04Deliberate.
00:08:04Every bit of it.
00:08:05Pretending to be a servant just to make fools of us.
00:08:07Yes.
00:08:08Very deliberate.
00:08:09Married in riding clothes.
00:08:11Picking strawberries herself.
00:08:12Hair in that state.
00:08:14What?
00:08:14On earth has Edward brought help?
00:08:16What indeed.
00:08:18I am curious how you intend to finish that sentence, Dorothea.
00:08:21Who do you think you are?
00:08:22A country girl who stumbled into a title through a farzical wedding?
00:08:26What right do you have?
00:08:28Today you sit in my garden.
00:08:29At my table, drinking tea you brought yourself.
00:08:31And you didn't so many announce your arrival.
00:08:33If you know your cousin as you say you do,
00:08:35you'd know he dislikes being disturbed.
00:08:36Next time, send word ahead.
00:08:38I'll have tea prepared.
00:08:39Properly hot, Lord Scaldi.
00:08:42My lady, the Earl will be arriving shortly.
00:08:45He asks that you come out to receive him.
00:08:48Is my cousin back?
00:08:50I haven't seen him in ages.
00:08:52I'll go greet him as well.
00:08:54Lady Dorothea, Lord Edward has made it clear that now that he is married,
00:08:58all visitors are to be received only with Lady Winewield's consent.
00:09:12Please lead the way.
00:09:13My apologies, my lady.
00:09:15His lordship has been called away again.
00:09:17He did, however, leave strict instructions that you are not to be disturbed.
00:09:21This was just delivered for you.
00:09:30Word has it his trip to London had less to do with business
00:09:32and more to do with rekindling an old flame.
00:09:35Cecilia Marlott, his mother's goddaughter.
00:09:37They were raised together at Thornwood, apparently.
00:09:41What happened after?
00:09:44She married an old duke in Wales.
00:09:47Poor girl.
00:09:48You feel sorry for her?
00:09:50Her husband just died.
00:09:52She's inherited a fortune.
00:09:55Who knows?
00:09:56She might come back.
00:09:57You'd better secure Lord Edward's affections while you can.
00:10:00I have not seen him since our wedding.
00:10:03What?
00:10:03How could that possibly be?
00:10:05It was wrong of me to take my sister's place and marry him that day.
00:10:09I never thought beyond that.
00:10:11Oh, my dear.
00:10:13What a cruel twist of fate.
00:10:15You were meant to go to London to study
00:10:17and now you're trapped in this cold, dreadful place.
00:10:20So his affections were already given elsewhere.
00:10:23And I've only trapped him here.
00:10:32After all, what is there between Lord Edward and me
00:10:34but a signature in the parish register?
00:10:37A tranquil life that suits me well enough.
00:10:41So cold.
00:10:48Elizabeth.
00:10:49Consider this my return for the insult.
00:10:52Enjoy finding your way across Thornwood with nothing on.
00:11:08Oh, no.
00:11:11Oh, no.
00:11:12Oh, no.
00:11:31Stop! Stop right there! I am the Countess of Wyndham! I command you to stop! You have no idea what
00:11:40it means to offend the Countess of Wyndham!
00:11:49My Lord, this is... I can explain! Please do not. You may... you may turn around now. My Lord! This
00:12:08is entirely unnecessary. I assure you, I am quite capable of...
00:12:12You are barefoot on Flint. Kindly be still.
00:12:22My Lord.
00:12:24I am here.
00:12:26I still owe you an explanation. Are you willing to hear it now?
00:12:32As you can see, I am not otherwise occupied.
00:12:37I took my sister's place and married you that day because... because I wanted my mother to stop being beaten.
00:12:44I see.
00:12:48You didn't need to do any of this. The moment you said I do at that altar, you fulfilled the
00:12:53agreement. You owe me nothing more!
00:12:56So this is all just an agreement to you? Nothing more?
00:12:59Is it not?
00:13:00I don't make a habit of saying things I don't mean, Elizabeth.
00:13:07That's the first time he's said my name.
00:13:09I understand, my Lord.
00:13:10Call me Edward. I've married you.
00:13:13You're my wife. You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth, including the right to know your husband.
00:13:31Cecilia.
00:13:33Cecilia Marlowe.
00:13:34The girl Edward grew up with.
00:13:40Milo, Edward.
00:13:42Sit down.
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:47Please do.
00:13:49Is there... someone else you care for?
00:13:52In London, perhaps?
00:13:57Are you angry with me for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:00Not in the least. I only mean to say...
00:14:03I've no objection to any other attachments you may have.
00:14:06This marriage serves both our families.
00:14:09I have no wish to be a petty, jealous Countess.
00:14:12And if I were to tell you there is no such person, would you believe me?
00:14:18I... yes. I believe I would.
00:14:31Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Windorf. I should like, if you're willing, to have a true marriage. In every
00:14:40sense.
00:14:43In every sense. Is he asking me to bear an heir for the Wyndham Line?
00:14:50Come in.
00:14:52It is late.
00:14:54Yes.
00:15:05Elizabeth.
00:15:07Yes.
00:15:09You are frightened.
00:15:13I... I'm not. I mean, it would be entirely reasonable for you to...
00:15:16Elizabeth.
00:15:20I will not require anything of you tonight.
00:15:23I beg your pardon.
00:15:24You heard me.
00:15:26But... it is... it is your right.
00:15:29I am aware of what the law allows me.
00:15:32But that isn't the measure I intend to follow.
00:15:37Good night, Elizabeth.
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:15:53Does he not want me?
00:16:09Edward.
00:16:18This isn't helpful.
00:16:35You are not afraid of the law.
00:16:42No, it is.
00:16:46No, it is.
00:16:48No, it is.
00:16:49No, it is.
00:16:58It is.
00:16:58Yes, yes, yes.
00:17:00No, it is.
00:17:02No, it is.
00:17:05God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:08I must be out of my mind.
00:17:10My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences,
00:17:32so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:38He arranged all of this. What does he take me for?
00:17:41It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:54I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:07Lady Wyndham, how lovely to find you here.
00:18:13And all on your own.
00:18:16Rupert, you know Lady Wynda, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford. The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Vane. Mr. Bellamy.
00:18:30Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McEelmus Hall.
00:18:35Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me.
00:18:38Though, I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional.
00:18:45Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady, a message for you.
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:10Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:18One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Wyndam chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:26I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:30Come, Rupert. It's been ages since I last danced.
00:19:34You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:51Lady Wyndam, what a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr. Bellman, I assume your fiancé is inside?
00:19:58Ah, yes. I stepped out for some air and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford. Marriage suits you.
00:20:06Thank you. I believe I should return home.
00:20:07No need to hurry. It's a fine night.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:12A woman as young as you, as lovely as you,
00:20:16deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband...
00:20:19That's enough!
00:20:21Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:22I mean it kindly...
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Wyndam, you are going the wrong way.
00:20:55Allow me to show you out.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy.
00:21:06Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed.
00:21:24I only wish to talk.
00:21:25Then speak from where you stand.
00:21:30My dear.
00:21:34Stop!
00:21:39What do you think you're doing?
00:21:43Dorothea, you must forgive me.
00:21:44I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:48Lady Wyndam had sought me out.
00:21:49Elizabeth!
00:21:50How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this?
00:21:53That is not...
00:21:54I mean no disrespect, but I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:58Good Lord.
00:21:59Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:03I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:07I shall inform Lord Edward at once he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:12Now, apologise to my fiancé.
00:22:14At once.
00:22:15Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or you will not address me at all.
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:37My lord.
00:22:38Thank God you're here.
00:22:40Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:42We were only trying to...
00:22:44When did he arrive?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:46Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward.
00:23:03My apologies.
00:23:04I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:08Good Lord.
00:23:10Has Lord Wyndam really ruined a hundred-year-old young maize?
00:23:14For a wife of such low birth.
00:23:20Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me.
00:23:24Before this night is over, you will regret it.
00:23:27Yes, my lord!
00:23:28Edward!
00:23:29What?
00:23:29My lord!
00:23:30I am your cousin!
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:34If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter,
00:23:38I've over fifty others just like you.
00:23:55You have endured enough.
00:24:05Home awaits us.
00:24:10Edward, you must know.
00:24:11I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out.
00:24:13I...
00:24:13I know.
00:24:14I know precisely what kind of man he is.
00:24:16I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:18We have been married for a few days now.
00:24:21We have.
00:24:23And I find I know remarkably little about you.
00:24:26I believe goes both ways.
00:24:28Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that.
00:24:31We might begin with a kiss.
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me.
00:24:37On horseback.
00:24:38Out in the open in the middle of the night.
00:24:40God knows how long I've waited for this moment.
00:24:43You have my permission.
00:25:00It's all right.
00:25:02He's settled now.
00:25:09We're home.
00:25:13My lord.
00:25:14My lady.
00:25:22I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth.
00:25:25Shortly?
00:25:26What does he mean, shortly?
00:25:28Tonight?
00:25:29I thought I had rather expected.
00:25:31I seem to have expected it more than I realised.
00:25:32Yes.
00:25:33Shortly, then.
00:25:49Of course.
00:25:50Of all nights, it would be this one.
00:26:01Come in.
00:26:02Come in.
00:26:05There's something I must tell you.
00:26:07It concerns a domestic matter.
00:26:11I see.
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:18Please, God.
00:26:20Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:23Come.
00:26:24Come.
00:26:34No.
00:26:36Not like this.
00:26:38How are you feeling?
00:26:41Rather better, thank you.
00:26:43Forgive me.
00:26:44Elizabeth.
00:26:45Yes.
00:26:45Stop apologising.
00:26:47Yes, very well.
00:26:51Elizabeth.
00:27:08Elizabeth.
00:27:08Elizabeth.
00:27:08Elizabeth.
00:27:19Elizabeth.
00:27:31He's gone.
00:27:32Of course he's gone.
00:27:34I failed him last night.
00:27:37Come in.
00:28:01There's something wrong.
00:28:04No.
00:28:05No, nothing.
00:28:10I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:13Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm.
00:28:15There's chocolate, if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:38You have.
00:28:43This hand is still warm.
00:28:49I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:54My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:58Yes.
00:28:59I should have liked it that very much.
00:29:04I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfillment of our marital obligation.
00:29:15Yes.
00:29:16Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:20I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:37Yes.
00:29:46Yes.
00:29:52Maybe.
00:29:54Yes.
00:30:05Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:37Free.
00:30:52That's Edward's mother.
00:30:54She looks so young to find.
00:30:59Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:03I am...
00:31:13Lady Wyndham.
00:31:16I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:19I am Cecilia.
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:24She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:26That's her.
00:31:28Cecilia Marlowe.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:32The woman Edward next loved her.
00:31:37You're Grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:43Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden.
00:31:47Shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:50Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:15She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:19After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.
00:32:23I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.
00:32:26Elizabeth, this is Georgiana.
00:32:28We call her Georgie.
00:32:28Georgie, this is Elizabeth.
00:32:30Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.
00:32:32And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:33I read.
00:32:34I write.
00:32:35I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:38Of course she does.
00:32:39Most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:41No offence, Elizabeth.
00:32:42It simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:45Not everyone has it.
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try.
00:32:49It is only fair to offy.
00:32:50Oh, by all means.
00:32:51Bring another gun.
00:32:55A gun for beginners.
00:32:58You know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:05You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:17Well.
00:33:20You had three.
00:33:22I should not be greedy.
00:33:36Mother.
00:33:36Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:39She found me.
00:33:41I like her.
00:33:44So do I.
00:33:51Come in.
00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:34:01She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:03I understand.
00:34:04Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree of all.
00:34:11It's Friday.
00:34:12So it is.
00:34:13I must admit.
00:34:16I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:18Nor am I.
00:34:24I should warn you there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:26Twenty-three.
00:34:31I see.
00:34:45I-I confess I don't quite know what I meant to do with my-
00:34:51Elizabeth.
00:34:54You are not supposed to do anything.
00:35:04The desk.
00:35:05I thought you might find it easier.
00:35:08To begin with.
00:35:10I did not realize how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:22Breathe.
00:35:25You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:35I-
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:44Let's begin.
00:36:01Stay.
00:36:19Let's go.
00:36:27I'm sorry.
00:36:27All right. You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:34Elizabeth Winwyn, née Fenwork.
00:36:37You arrived at my door this morning, wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:43surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it? Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incorrible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he...
00:36:54He was... considerate?
00:36:58Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:05Before anything else.
00:37:08Several times in fact.
00:37:11Good lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward, in the morning?
00:37:18He said come back to bed.
00:37:21As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:23Only meant to return.
00:37:25He held my hand.
00:37:29Lizzie.
00:37:32Don't.
00:37:33You like him.
00:37:36I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:44We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:55We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:57Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch.
00:38:01Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:04I am...
00:38:15I am...
00:38:18I am...
00:38:20I am...
00:38:23I am sure they can.
00:38:33You have to go across.
00:38:34The road found me. I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were. You always were.
00:38:42Edgar Lemmerts. A viscant son.
00:38:45The summer I was fourteen, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall. Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean. Then he left for Italy.
00:38:55Is that... Edgar? I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:08I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox. I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:13Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:16I hope you are well, Lady Wind...
00:39:17I am. Thank you.
00:39:19Give my regards to Lord Wyndove.
00:39:30Six years without a word, and now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not. Lord Wyndare is worth ten of him, you know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come. The road is clear now.
00:39:49She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:51A married woman smiling at a man like that, out in the open road.
00:39:54She stepped away from him, Georgie. That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward. I shall tell him exactly what I saw, and he will do as you think best,
00:40:01my dear.
00:40:04You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:17Edward, there's something I must tell you. It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:23I was riding this morning, along the north road.
00:40:26I saw her, with a man.
00:40:28They were standing awfully close together, and he...
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:31Why yes, and he... he took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:35And then?
00:40:36She drew back in the end.
00:40:38But she knew him well, Edward. He called her Lizzy.
00:40:41What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox. Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son, and the one who has been off painting in Italy for
00:40:49the past six years.
00:40:50Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:52You followed her.
00:40:54No.
00:40:54I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:56Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windworm. She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:03Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time, such matters are of
00:41:07importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgina.
00:41:18Edgar Lennox.
00:41:23My lady, his lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:28Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:31He said he'd like to, and I quote precisely, take you out for a ride. He mentioned the North Meadow.
00:41:38Please convey to his lordship that I shall be ready in 20 minutes.
00:41:41Of course, my lady.
00:41:50Georgiana paid me a visit this morning.
00:41:52I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:04I did.
00:42:05Our carriage came to grief in the mud.
00:42:08He assisted with freeing the wheel.
00:42:12Georgiana is young, and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgement.
00:42:15I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:18He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me.
00:42:21It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away.
00:42:25He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:31For what?
00:42:32We're married.
00:42:33You need not thank me.
00:42:36Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy.
00:42:39He may want to consider spending six more.
00:42:42The further he remains from my wife, the better.
00:42:51I cannot believe this.
00:42:53He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:03He accused me of following her.
00:43:05He is a loyal man, always has been.
00:43:07And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person.
00:43:11Has he any engagements away from Thornwood in the holidays?
00:43:15He leaves for Dutcher on Thursday.
00:43:19He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:30Edward chose her.
00:43:34Very well.
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me.
00:43:51Then?
00:43:57Don't do it.
00:44:16Once in a chrysan Margaret-
00:44:21curtains and correspondence and everything edward window has ever cared to preserve
00:44:27and now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear

00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:31You're pregnant!
00:59:33Oh, God bless you, my child!
00:59:40Mother...
00:59:42I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46You'll come chase him after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:52Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:25It's Edward!
01:00:41He's coming after us!
01:00:43Let him come.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham.
01:00:51What an honour.
01:00:53Though I must tell you this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well.
01:00:57Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight.
01:00:59And you shall not follow her.
01:01:01She's my wife, Lord Wyndham.
01:01:03By law she's required to...
01:01:04By law, yes.
01:01:07Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:17Come in.
01:01:24My lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my lord. You have no right to...
01:01:32The Fenwood estate carries debts to four creditors in this county.
01:01:36Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:39To me.
01:01:40The roof you sleep under.
01:01:42The fields you work on.
01:01:43The horses in your stable.
01:01:45The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrowsborough.
01:01:49My lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:55I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:58Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:04If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement,
01:02:08you will lose your house, your land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:18My wife sends her regards.
01:02:31He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:34Oh lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:37No.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:42I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:45As did I.
01:02:48Elizabeth.
01:02:50Is he...
01:02:51Is he a good man, your lord?
01:03:02He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:12Is he?
01:03:20He's the best man I've ever met.
01:03:22Is he a good man?
01:03:32Is he good man?
01:03:37I'm sorry.
01:03:37Is he good for the best man?
01:03:39Is he good man?
01:03:43I don't wish to go.
01:03:45I know.
01:03:46I know you don't.
01:03:48Elizabeth, I...
01:03:50It's Friday, you know.
01:03:59I'll be gentle.
01:04:01So will I.
01:04:03Don't be too gentle.
01:04:17I promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:38My Lord,
01:04:40it is the 14th of March
01:04:42and your child has spent this morning
01:04:44using my ribs as a set of piano keys.
01:04:47Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy
01:04:49and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:52Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:53We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:03A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:06In his Lordship's own hand.
01:05:11Elizabeth,
01:05:12your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15I have read it four times,
01:05:17front to back.
01:05:19Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child
01:05:24and even more to tell you.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:32My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, I believe.
01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverd, we are here to deliver a summons
01:05:48from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London
01:05:53and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:57May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:59I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:06:02The carriage is prepared.
01:06:06Very well.
01:06:09Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:21My lady,
01:06:22the seal on this carriage.
01:06:24I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham,
01:06:30I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:44That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the road to London,
01:06:47it's the cliff road.
01:06:52Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop the carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:37Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes?
01:07:51What is it?
01:07:52I think the child is coming.
01:08:13My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:17Move.
01:08:40Your first child?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:42I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road.
01:08:45The carriage?
01:08:45The summons?
01:08:46Who was it?
01:08:46A widow.
01:08:47Recently returned from London.
01:08:49She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Grednas?
01:08:55Yes, your highness.
01:08:56I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:59She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:09:01Thank you, your highness.
01:09:03And for this, for allowing us in.
01:09:06Don't thank me for that.
01:09:07Thank my wife.
01:09:08She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:12She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:16That's one way to put it.
01:09:24My lord, Lady Windery is well.
01:09:28You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why am I there?
01:09:47You have a son.
01:09:56Your royal highness, the Princess Regent.
01:10:06J.
01:10:21How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:28It all started with a marsh.
01:10:30I beg your pardon?
01:10:31On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:34Cut across the north field.
01:10:36I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:42And then, there was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:46Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:51He pulled me out himself, gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:55He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:57And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:59Yes, then I told him my name.
01:11:01And he told me his.
01:11:03And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:06Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:13Are you?
01:11:15More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:24The Prince Regent will present honours tonight.
01:11:26Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:28None at all.
01:11:29Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:31But who shall it be?
01:11:32Cavendish?
01:11:33Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:36Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:40A husband.
01:11:42And a wife.
01:11:44Good heavens!
01:11:45A joint honour?
01:11:47And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:50Are you nervous?
01:11:52I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:55Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:59Yes.
01:11:59When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:12:03And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:07Well, things are different now.
01:12:09This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:13Shall we?
01:12:19Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:22How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:25You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:28And I feel magnificent.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:37I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martiance of Thornfield.
